The big players who are in demand will probably be gone before next season - Scienza, Charles, Jander, THB, Azaz.

And it is very unlikely Peretz joins us permanently as he will have much better offers from better clubs than us after his second half of the season performance.  Probably the same with Larin.

I can't see Jelert joining us permanently either based on game time.

Bree is out of contract and will have better offers from elsewhere - which I expect he will take and who can blame him.

Romeu, McCarthy, Jones and Long are all out of contract.

Manning has a year left on his contract and I am guessing he will push to leave - probably a premier league club for a small fee.  

Same with Edozie - he has a year left - but he will end up at a Championship club.  

Stewart has a year left on his contract if we take up the option for an additional year - but given his injury record and age I think he will probably end up staying.

Welington is also wanted elsewhere - so I can see him pushing to leave as well.

I can see Downes also pushing to leave for somewhere like Everton or Ipswich or even a relegated West Ham.

Same with Fellows - he might even get his premier league move on the cheap.

Archer will probably be off to another championship club as well.

I doubt any of the players out on loan that have done well will come back - Smallbone, Sugawara, BBD.  I do worry we will end up with Bazunu and Downs back though.  But I hope not.  

If we start the season with Bazunu in goal we are in trouble.

So that leaves us with the bare bones of a team along the lines of:

                                    Bazunu 

Roerslev                Stephens     Wood              ???????
                                                    Quarshie       

                                 Bragg               ?????    
                           (Williams)       

Matsuki                               ???????                               Robinson

                                    Stewart 
                             (Downs/Oyekunle)    

 

Not to mention a new DoF, Manager, coaching team and analyst team.
